2nd 3 (3) |
28th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Won on Bath debut (1m, good to soft) last September, but he's 0-5 since and has struggled in his last two handicaps; got squeezed out at the start at Chester (10.3f, good to soft; 22-1) last time but he has bit to prove after a short break and others are more convincing. |

12th Jun 2026 Good 1m 2f 70y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Posted a solid fifth on his handicap debut at Sandown (1m2f) in April but failed to beat a rival in 1m2f York handicap following month; visor is reached for now. |
25/1 |

10th 5 (2) |
23rd May 2026 Good 1m 2f 56y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Won at Bath (1m, good to soft) last September on the first of his four starts; prominent long way and took a bump in the closing stages when fifth of six in a hot race for handicap debut at Sandown (1m2f, good) last time, which was his highest rating and he can probably do better still. |

1st Jul 2026 Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Peak RPR of 31 in six starts from 5.7f-1m; can't consider; wears first-time headgear (cheekpieces). |
40/1 |
|
8th 9 (4) |
5th Jun 2026 Good 0m 5f 160y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
Just five runs so far but has not shown much, including in two course handicaps; gelded since last seen in October; needs much more. |
66/1 |
|
11th 11 (5) |
20th Oct 2025 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
8st 13lb |
Failed to beat a rival in three maidens (6f-1m) and was never involved when eighth of 13 on nursery debut here (5.6f, good to firm; 125-1) last month; needs to leave previous form well behind now back up in trip. |

15th Oct 2025 Good 1m 0f 75y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Runner-up in Bath maiden (1m, good to soft) last month on third start and third on subsequent handicap debut at Wolverhampton (8.6f, AW), but he was about 5l behind runner-up Vintage Heat on that occasion so has work to do. |
14/1 |
|
3rd 6 (7) |
4th Oct 2025 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Well held in first two runs but he got much closer to the target when runner-up in a Brighton maiden (1m, good to soft) last month; opening mark looks on the high side but it's still early days and he should have more to offer in nurseries; cheekpieces added. |
13/2 |
|
5 (10) |
13th Sep 2025 Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Showed only minor promise on his first two starts (7f/1m) and probably has low-grade handicaps on his agenda after this run. |

28th Aug 2026 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Made all over 1m2f at Brighton (good to firm) in June but that was in first-time cheekpieces and she's not kicked on. |
10/1 |
|
4th 6 (1) |
5th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 1f 207y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Benefited from combination of step up in trip and first-time cheekpieces when making all over C&D (good to firm) in June, her seventh start; open to further progress but needs to bounce back from a disappointing effort at Leicester last month. |
5/1 |
|
7th 4 (10) |
4th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Stamina doubts on pedigree upped to this trip last time but they proved unfounded, as she made all round Brighton in first-time cheekpieces; that wasn't much of a race and she's 5lb higher but she remains relatively unexposed. |

13th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 2f 42y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
Her third 2yo run (1m, good to soft; cheekpieces first time) was encouraging; last of five on her seasonal/handicap debut four weeks ago (1m4f, AW); should do better today. |

18th Aug 2026 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 4 |

Beat only one rival in her two races on turf last year; first-time cheekpieces are applied on AW debut; best watched. |

13th Sep 2025 Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Out of a fair 7f winner; beaten about 35l when 33-1 for debut at Lingfield (7.6f, good) last month. |
50/1 |

6 (9) |
9th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 7f 135y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
March foal by Dream Ahead; dam 7f winner (RPR 80), half-sister to Group-placed 6f 2yo winner Elronaq and 1m4f-1m6f winner Vindolanda, out of 6f Listed winner; would be a very rare winning 2yo newcomer for the stable. |

28th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Acts on good to firm and good to soft; has solid record this season and she made it 2-5 in handicaps when battling well at Lingfield (1m, good to firm) last time; 4lb higher in this deeper race but she's a likeable filly who still has scope for further progress; in the mix. |
7/1 |
|
1st 5 (3) |
9th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 53y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Ran well in defeat in two handicaps in May (1m, good to firm/good) before winning a maiden at Beverley (8.4f, good) in June on her ninth start; went up the weights for that and she wasn't beaten by the trip when third of four back in a handicap at Beverley (1m2f, good to firm); improvement needed. |
9/2 |
|
3rd 4 (1) |
14th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 1f 207y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Off the mark in an 8.5f maiden here last time (good; third has won since); weakened when tried over 9.5f on AW as a 2yo but may yet improve over this sort of trip (dam won over 1m2f). |

24th Sep 2025 Soft 0m 7f 219y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Made a reasonably encouraging debut when eighth at Windsor (6f, good) in July but she hasn't progressed from that in two starts since (7f/1m); now switches to nurseries with better needed. |
6/1 |
|
11 (1) |
13th Sep 2025 Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 0lb |
Made reasonably encouraging debut when eighth of 12 at Windsor (6f, good) in July but took backward step at Lingfield (7f, AW) last month and has a point to prove over today's even longer trip. |
10/1 |
|
9 (2) |
26th Aug 2025 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Finished behind a couple of today's rivals at Windsor last month (6f, good); open to improvement but it is needed. |
